Stephanie—Sophisticated and Stylin'
Stephanie's Favorite Item

Franco Sarto brown leather boots

My Franco Sarto brown leather boots are one of my favorite items; they're so sophisticated, they go with everything!

  • Pendleton plaid dress, red/tan - $4.99
  • Donatella tan trench coat - $4.99
  • Coach purse - $49.99
  • Tights - $1.49
  • (2) brown/gold necklaces - $3.99 each
  • Sunglasses - $1.99
  • Brown bangle bracelets - $1.99

 

From Stephanie:

  • Franco Sarto brown leather boots
On the lovely model Stephanie, Bjorn has chosen to base her outfit on the fantastic vintage Pendleton wool shirtdress he found in a classic red/tan plaid. Bjorn found some tights and paired with Stephanie's boots so it was easy to make this look modern and relatable for most women. The trench coat from Donatella is an all season piece and is the perfect length with our dress. We have accessorized this outfit with two necklaces in neutral brown, and gold, as well as some faux tortoise shell bangles just for fun. The authentic Coach handbag was a super score at the Goodwill, and gives the whole look a feeling of sophistication. Notice how the elements all work together without necessarily matching! Plaid is always a great addition to any gal’s wardrobe. So when done in more neutral tones like this, it integrates quite easily with whatever you have already!

 


 

Enrique—Cool and Collected

Enrique's Favorite Item

Aldo loafers

My Aldo loafers are great. Not only are they comfortable, but they go with any outfit.



 

 

From Goodwill:

  • Circa tan pants - $3.99
  • American Eagle dark blue striped blazer - $6.99
  • Blue/tan striped golf sweater - $3.99
  • Aviators - $1.99

 

From Enrique:

  • Aldo loafers
  • Blue Calvin Klein shirt

Our model Enrique has a very up to date casual look. Fashion stylist Bjorn thought it would be fun to show our readers how easy it is to combine casual pieces that many of us already have. He started with Enrique’s favorite item his brown slip on shoes from Aldo. They are perfect as the starting point for the rest of the ensemble. From the bottom up we have some flat front khaki color slacks from Circa, a pale blue Calvin Klein knit polo, an American Eagle striped cotton sweater, a blue pin-striped blazer, and aviator sunglasses. This look says pulled together, confident, and playful. It is appropriate for a casual business lunch, or an evening out with friends. A great pair of neutral slacks like the ones here are always a good way to get yourself out of the blue jeans rut guys!!
